Beautiful-Neural-Dose….

Posted: July 2nd, 2008, by Eva

The Snatch. A beautiful move, a neural dose. A different “tiredness” than you have felt before. This “Snatch” and the “Clean and Jerk” tax your neural system, training power on a deep level, resulting in huge athletic benefits.
Above, our own Caroline Marani snatches for 46Kilos.

Workout:

Snatch to YOUR “Max for the day.”

“Weightlifting”

Posted: June 26th, 2008, by Annie

Jon Varese looking strong in the OHS, an essential part of the ‘Snatch’.

Workout:
Muscle Snatch: 1-1-1-1-1
Hang Snatch: 1-1-1-1-1
Keep working single reps until you find your one rep max in each exercise. Post both to comments. Which was harder–muscling the weight up or pulling yourself under?

“Many people think bodybuilding is weightlifting, but again that is an incorrect assumption. Bodybuilders do not focus on athletic performance, but instead focus on how their muscles look and how symmetrical their body is. Weight training is a broad term that involves anyone who lifts weight just for health reasons with no particular goal in mind. Many times these individuals will be the ones doing peripheral exercises such as curls, triceps kickbacks, leg extensions, etc.”  (Olympic Weightlifting Resource)
